Active clinical trials for "Renal Insufficiency, Chronic"

This is a Phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of a 10 mg/kg dose of AD-214 when administered to healthy volunteers (HVs) (Part A) or patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Part B). The study will be performed in Australia at up to two clinical sites.

This study aims to investigate the effect of protein restriction plus KA/EAA supplementation on GFR decline in CKD patients.

Evaluate the effectiveness of different modalities of physical exercise about clinical health indicators and quality of life of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

This is a prospective, observational study to assess the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on surrogate markers of kidney and cardiovascular health in patients with stage 3b and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study includes three clinic in person visits and weekly telephone visits for 12 weeks. Recruit 28 patients with CKD stages 3b-4 and follow up for 12 weeks Determine the effect of interventions on the primary outcome variable serum klotho measured by immunoprecipitation-immunoblot

The SLEEP-BP-CKD Study has been designed to specifically test the following primary hypotheses: (i) Specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the asleep SBP mean and/or the sleep-time relative SBP decline, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (ii) Changes during follow-up in specific ABPM-derived parameters, in particular the increase of the asleep SBP mean and/or decrease of the sleep-time relative SBP decline towards the non-dipper/riser 24h SBP pattern, are significant prognostic markers of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. A novelty of the SLEEP-BP-CKD Study is the incorporation of clinical-grade wearable digital technology to monitor both wake-time and sleep-time BP at home in a subgroup (up to 200) of the total sample; this procedure will provide added useful information to test the following additional hypotheses: (iii) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans provides reliable data to be used either individually or jointly with periodic ABPM as added potential prognostic marker of deterioration of kidney function and progression towards ESKD, as well as of the risk of all-cause mortality and major CVD events, in high-risk patients with stage G3b-G4 CKD. (iv) The sleep-time BP measurements obtained by HBPM self-assessment and their changes during follow-up are better correlated, compared with wake-time OBPM or wake-time HBPM, to eGFR and albuminuria (measured by the albumin/creatinine ratio) and their changes during follow-up, respectively. (v) The HBPM self-assessment procedure to obtain BP measurements both during wake-time and sleep-time spans increases patient adherence/compliance to prescribed treatment from baseline. The scheduled periodic patient BP assessments during follow-up with OBPM, HBPM, 48h ABPM, along with laboratory urine and blood test data will further allow evaluating and comparing the changes from baseline in all these clinically relevant variables as potential markers for risk of progression towards ESKD, all-cause mortality, and/or CVD morbidity.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to a variety of different diseases characterized by impairment of kidney structure and/or renal function. The prevalence of CKD in China is as high as 10.8%. With a population of more than 150 million, China has the largest number of CKD patients all over the world. People with CKD would not only progress to uremia and need renal replace treatment, it also significantly increases risk of cardiovascular disease than non-CKD population. It has created a heavy burden on people's health and national economy. There is an urgent need to establish an effective system for CKD prevention and control in China. Evidences from large sample cohort and real world based research are still rare. This study will provide good experience for reducing the occurrence and development of CKD.

Obesity can be a major driver for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is a leading cause of death and significant loss in quality of life. A growing body of evidence has shown bariatric (metabolic) surgery as a novel approach to reduce the progression of CKD and reduce morbidity with sustained weight loss. This pilot trial will inform the design and execution of a large RCT that could determine the efficacy of bariatric surgery in the treatment of patients with CKD in the context of obesity. Ultimately, the results have the potential to influence guidelines that may deem bariatric surgery as a viable treatment option for CKD and reduce the morbidity from this chronic condition and inform clinical practice.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) induces many metabolic troubles especially for the advanced CKD (stage 3b-5) patients and their prevalence and importance grow with the deterioration of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Among them, muscle wasting is common and multifactorial, partially explained by an imbalance between protein catabolism and synthesis. Muscular strength is also affected beyond the reduction of the lean body mass, resulting in profound fatigue. The present study seeks to quantify the prevalence of low muscular strength production (dynapenia) in a cohort of elderly patients with advanced CKD, through a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) handgrip test compared to control data available in the literature, matched in term of age and sex. It also aims to investigate the link between the reported fatigue (subjective) and the evolution of the MVC, called critical force (fcrit) during a fatiguing task (objective fatigability).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health issue worldwide. Hypertension is the first risk factor in patients with CKD for mortality, cardiovascular disease and end-stage renal disease. It's now well established that lowering blood pressure (BP) reduces renal and cardiovascular complications in this high-risk population. In the general population, in addition to lifestyle interventions, the strategy to initiate and escalate a BP-lowering drug treatment is well described. The drug therapies recommended to achieve optimal BP control in the general population are the following: blockers of the renin-angiotensin system (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)), diuretics (thiazides and thiazide-like diuretics), and calcium channel blockers. For patients with CKD, the guidelines advise to start the BP-lowering agent with ACEi or ARB, but then, there is no strong evidence to support the preferential use of any particular agent in controlling BP and the results of clinical trials are discordant. In the NephroTest cohort, a French cohort of patients with CKD stage 1 to 5, among 2015 patients, 1782 had hypertension, only 54% had a diuretic and 44% had uncontrolled hypertension. In this cohort, extracellular fluid (ECF) overload was an independent determinant of hypertension, uncontrolled hypertension and apparent treatment resistant hypertension. In the same cohort, ECF overload was independently associated with end-stage kidney disease and death. Our hypothesis is that patients with CKD and uncontrolled hypertension are fluid overloaded and that the second line of treatment after an ACEi or an ARB should be a diuretic. We hypothesize that a specific algorithm to lower BP in patients with moderate to severe CKD based on diuretics will be more effective in term of cardiovascular event, mortality and evolution to end-stage kidney disease as compared to standard of care.

This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new AVF in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.
